SAT/ACT/TSI Testing Information

Most colleges will accept either the SAT or ACT and will use the highest score among all tests taken. You will need to check with the college of your choice regarding their entrance requirements.

If you go to a community college, you only need the TSI and you do not need to take the SAT or the ACT.

If you later transfer to a university, you will be a transfer student and will not need the SAT or ACT, if you have enough transfer hours.

ACT and SAT recommend that students take their tests at least twice. You don’t have to take both of them, but you may if you want to try both assessments and determine if you perform better on one as opposed to the other. You may register online at the websites indicated below -- with assistance in the counselor’s office or register on your own.
